About Me

I’m not terribly interesting, but here’s a bit about me…

I started out shooting and hunting as a kid, joined the U.S. Army at age 17, and went on a couple of deployments. After a very clumsy, very long fall off of a cliff in eastern Afghanistan, I came home, and started working. Along the way I read a lot of books, fell in love, and developed a sense of humor that has kept me going.

I’ve been working in product development since 2015 within the firearms industry. In my current position at Magpul, I’m responsible not only for all phases of product development and deployment, but also for relevant marketing and public relations, customer service, business analysis, and more. Along the way I’ve learned how the moving parts interact, what makes them stick, and how to stay lean and efficient. While at Magpul, I have implemented Lean principles and adapted concepts from Agile to enable timely project completion under budget, and with less headaches all around. I beat deadlines without losing my sanity over them, and enjoy being challenged and intellectually stimulated. 

I focus on managing the product, not the people, and this has been key to my success. Empowered team members allow projects to thrive despite challenges along the way.
